Case No. 2:16-cv-01049-RFB-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 19)

16

On May 19, 2017, the Court issued an order setting a hearing in this case for June 1, 2017, to

17

address numerous substantive issues. Docket No. 18. After hours on May 30, 2017, so effectively the

18

eve of that hearing, the Commissioner’s counsel filed a motion to appear telephonically. Docket No.

19

19. Because of the numerous substantive issues to be addressed and the availability of capable local

20

counsel who could argue the issues, the Court declines to allow the telephonic appearance. The motion

21

to appear telephonically is therefore DENIED.

22

IT IS SO ORDERED.
